No ++ from me because you work with "rand". That's not permutating but "throwing dice" and hoping to get all permutations. Um, I think that's the point of it — it's a joke! (Especially considering its name.) -- for doing someone's homework ;-) But surely approaching a homework question in an intentionally stupid way that they wouldn't get any marks doesn't actually count as doing somebody's homework? I thought gargle's node was humourous, and can't see what's so harmful about it to warrant its negative reputation. Smylers	[reply]

++ for correcting me ;-) Nevertheless: Still no ++ for the answer because rand is not something I would consider a good solution for permutation. So it's not worth a good reputation. Neither is mine so the (currently) -1 is okay `$\=~s;s.;q^\|D9JYJ^^qq^\//\\\///^;ex;print`	[reply] [d/l]
